LINKIN PARKLos Angeles, United States

The band states that the album combines elements from their previous four studio albums to create a new sound.

The lead single for the album, "Burn It Down", was sent to radio and released to digital music retailers on April 16, 2012.

MAINLINE

Mainline are essentially a Indie Rock’n’Roll/Garage Blues band and with a fusion of their many different influences they have created and developed their own sound.

Mainline are stalwarts of the Leeds Music Scene and have done an impressive amount of gigs around the north of England stirring a lot of interest as they go and they have a strong following.

They are also no strangers to the studio. In recent years the band have been recording at SoundMill Studio (Leeds). Our thanks to Si McGrath who has produced and engineered the tracks and has occasionally played Live with us and featured on a couple of studio tracks.

THE TEMPER TRAP

At the center of everything is the charismatic, enigmatic Mandagi and that voice, a swooping croon that could lift a 747. The Indonesian-born, Melbourne-raised, London-living frontman is the driving force behind ‘The Temper Trap’s recurring theme of displacement. “I definitely went through phases where the only place I felt like I belonged was on the road, on the stage, in a bus,” he says. “Being on the road gave me a sense of purpose. I love it and there’s no place I’d rather be, but at the same time it can be lonely. That’s all ammo for me as a lyricist.”

JORDANA DIVINORUMThunder Bay, ON, CA

The group was founded by singer - Jordana Divinorum (Matthew Baumann) and drummer - Jimmy Sin (Jimmy Kuss). They met at a concert and decided to find a full band so they could play shows together. After writing a collection of catchy songs and putting together a live show that included special lighting, fog machines, Halloween decorations, professional guest dancers, and back up singers, the band became well known in the local music scene. In 2011, the band released their first full length album - The End of Entertainement, containing 14 songs.

GUARDIANS OF DUST

The London rockers are now back with enough gems up their sleeves to make their first full-length release an instant classic. The band's forthcoming new album is scheduled for release in 2012, and with an impressive collection of potential chart-topping jewels in store, it is clearly a masterpiece in the making.

With a reputation as a hot live band treating every live performance as an unique experience for their audience, GoD have an insatiable appetite for the road. An extensive tour in Europe and the USA is already in the cards this year to support the release of their forthcoming album.

THE BURNING OF ROME

Blistering live shows and melodic hooks. If Pink Floyd, The Misfits, and Danny Elfman plotted world domination it would sound like this. Blending gypsy punk, dance, and rock into a mend-bending stew, this is music for the new world. With a string of West Coast shows (including dates with Devo, The Black Keys, MGMT, Common, and Skrillex) the fivesome has been gaining fans through onstage antics, working crowds into a frenzy. Look out for their debut full-length album "With Us" from Surfdog Records, arriving worldwide Fall 2012.
